The audiobook is read by Gaiman himself, while a full-cast audio drama offers a more immersive journey through London Below. Gaiman's urban fantasy takes the metropolis of London and rebuilds it into a unique realm of mythology, one that will leave you wondering what's really happening, a half-glance out of sight, the next time you find yourself wandering around the city. But for the most part, our orphan narrator, read with deep feeling by Thurston, is amazing company, even more so than the odd cast of characters he meets along the way. But listed below are books that don’t fall strictly under one genre, but combine several genres like magical realism, YA, children’s fiction, historical fiction, romance, etc. Now invisible and forgotten by London Above, Richard and Door-along with the trickster Marquis de Carabas and the stoic Hunter-must travel across Night's Bridge, seek an audience at the Earl's court, and acquire a rare key from the Black Friars for the angel Islington if either of them has a hope of returning to their former lives. I’ve already recommended several works of fiction. It's a world that Richard Mayhew, a Scottish expatriate to the Big Smoke, slips into when he helps Door, a young woman on the run from unstoppable assassins who have killed her entire family.
Neverwhere is a tale of London-not the city you know, but the London Below, a city unseen by the majority yet no less real, populated by the ignored, lost, and forgotten.
